You've succeeded in making the information set, "how many hurricanes have there been, when, and where," into an image that evokes a feeling of awe and wonder. It's a joy to experience this image, and it was a joy to follow the tutorial and make it!

Not just a stupendously cool map, which it is, but an amazing number of helpful techniques clearly demonstrated that will be useful on all kinds of future maps. Well done! My ever improving future maps thank you!

Thank you so much from the MOOC, the easiest way to hide the y count, chart tittle, and y title is by changing the color transparency individually to 99% using chart properties.

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Fabulous tutorial - I really enjoyed doing this and learned so much! Thanks for posting John! Question - how were the "glowing" symbols created for the hurricanes? The symbology info indicates they are picture markers.

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

you are right, this map used picture symbols. but you can make them from scratch right in Pro. here's how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpPUp42ea9aEqaM

[@simateimourianmotlagh2023]

Thanks for sharing valuable video. Could you tell me there is any different between data you used in this video with the hurricanes data in ESRI website ?

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

I’m not sure. You could also search the NOAA hurricane archive

[@simateimourianmotlagh2023]

@@JohnNelsonMaps Actually, I used your link. Could you send noaa link for me?! Thanks

[@vanessagiles7397]

Is it just me or is the resolution such that it's really hard to see the details (eg I can't read any of the text on the ArcGIS Pro interface)?? Struggling to follow...

[@gisri4715]

I love you Johon Thx very Much

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

thanks!

[@jasminkhangura3832]

Great tutorial! I'm looking to update a map made using this tutorial that includes hurricane data from 2022. I tried clicking the data source link and it's now a dead end :( Any guidance on where to get update historical hurricane data from would be greatly appreciated!

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

Ah shoot sorry I’ll have to look into that. In the meantime just google historical hurricane shapefile

I always felt like a hillbilly using graphics to cover up unwanted features in the data/layout frame.......glad to know its "hack" and not me being some Neanderthal.
